Put the Agent Inside the Workflow
Towards Data Science

EDITOR BRIEF
The article describes a hybrid LLM app pattern that blends a fixed workflow with agent behavior that can adapt as it goes. In other words, the app follows a planned process, but an AI agent can make decisions within it when needed.
INSIGHTS
This matters because many AI apps work better when they mix structure with flexibility. If you're learning AI, try mapping one task into steps first, then decide where an agent should have room to adapt.
